Capitalist Monster Hunter - Chapter 12

12. Heart Beating Random Box (2)

 

 

 

“” Like I said, I chose the equipment and martial art you can use. So, please… Just think about it one more time. Huh?

 

 

 

Tears welled up in Titania’s eyes as she grabbed Yusung’s sleeve.

 

 

 

Yusung’s mind was shaken a bit from her plea, but Yusung has already made up his mind. The Goddess of Mischief said she would bless it. So he has to believe in her and open the random boxes.

 

“” Don’t worry too much. I’m sure it’ll work out.

 

“” Yuseong…

 

[] I think you purchased the  Random box impulsively

 

“” Quite, Eve.

 

Yuseong eventually bought 50 low-grade random boxes. It didn’t take long until Yusung’s points were halved. .

 

“” Ah… the plan I made……

 

Titania staggered with dizziness when she saw the points halving in an instant.

 

[] Goddess of Mischief: Did you purchase the random box?

 

“” Yes, so bless it……

 

[] Goddess of mischief: That was a lie. I just wanted to see you open more random boxes~. Since you bought them, just open it. Who knows you might get some good items.

 

Beep-

 

There was some kind of sound made from inside of Yusung’s head. It was the sound of the Yusung’s mind shattering.

 

[] Goddess of Mischief: Human beings are so interesting after all

 

Oh my gosh!

 

[] 666: Why do humans risk their lives on things that are not certain? I mean, thanks to them I get to have some fun.

 

[] Great angel: Foolish

 

[] Jongwon Master: yah… the boldness…. their ambition…. It’s good to see!!

 

God and the Spirit Watching Yusung now had something to watch again. They were watching Yusung interestingly. They couldn’t understand Yusung’s behavior of opening 20 boxes and getting nothing then buying 50 more boxes.

 

They couldn’t understand, but they were interested. They were excited to watch what would come out in the random box when Yusung opened it.

 

‘’ I wonder what kind of face Yusung is going to make if only garbage items come out?

 

‘’ I wonder how Yusung will react if he gets a really good item?

 

It will be interesting to see whatever the outcome may be. God and spirits watched Yusung open its box with wide eyes.

 

‘’ I should’ve been suspicious ever since her nickname was the goddess of mischief….

 

Yusung holding back his anger promised to express his anger next time he came across the goddess.

 

‘’ Let’s just open the box, dam…

 

[] You acquired <Goblin skin>

 

[] You acquired <old cloth>.

 

[] You acquired <Recovery of physical strength>…

 

All the time he opened the box, Yusung’s expression darkened. He was already close to opening 40 boxes. However, only garbage came out.

 

The good news is that none of the items related to the broken sword were found this time.

 

The portions were at least drinkable.

 

The old cloth had no function, but it could still be worn as clothing, and unlike the fragment of broken sword, the skin of the goblin could still be sold for money.

 

[] Yongsalja: Hey hunter, did you commit a sin this year? Why is your fortune so bad? Cheer up.

 

[] War maniac: I feel so bad for you

 

[] Mother of Earth: Cheer up!

 

[] Boris: Everything in the world has its reason. Don’t worry too much.

 

Since Yusung didn’t have a good expression on his face, a couple of gods and spirits started supporting him.

 

‘’ Don’t just give me verbal support, support me with a donation!

 

Yusung thought about it inside, but I didn’t say it out loud.

 

“” It’s already down to ten. ….

 

There were only 10 random boxes left. Yusung closed his eyes tightly and opened the box.

 

Whosh!

 

What came out of the random box was a small ticket.

 

“” Ticket? What kind of ticket is it?

 

“” It’s an inventory expansion ticket. Let’s see… Huh?

 

“” What’s wrong? Why are you surprised?

 

“” Congratulations! It’s an advanced expansion ticket! It’s an advanced item that you have to pay hundreds of thousands of points if you want to buy it at a point shop!

 

“” How big does it expand my inventory?

 

“” Inventory is connected to the subspace provided to hunters. The more subspaces you have, the more inventories you have. If you use this advanced inventory expansion, umm… the subspace will get big as some of the cities on Earth. Think of it as it will be hard to fill up the inventory even if you will spend the rest of your life putting items in your inventory.

 

“” Is there a better grade one than the advanced one?

 

“” There is a high-advanced onet. It can create a huge subspace that can fit in the earth and still have space left. But I don’t think there’s any particular need. Even if you only use the intermediate-level inventory extension, it will create a subspace as large as the park, which is already enough.

 

“” That’s true,

 

Come to think of it, it was that it wasn’t a trash item, but this advanced extension wasn’t what Yusung wanted either.

 

He didn’t have anything, so the subspace of the inventory was useless.

 

This was not a good item as well.

 

“” These aren’t what I wanted to  get.

 

Yusung turned his head while opening the next box.

 

Glob!

 

Yusung sipped down on his saliva as he opened the box.

 

Whoosh!

 

When the light that had been shining out of the box went out, it was a black ball. The pitch black ball had a bright red tongue sticking out.

 

Slurp!

 

The black ball rolled it’s tongue as it looked for something to eat.

 

He thought it was a strange-shaped ball, but it seemed like a living organism. When Yusung touched the ball, the ball rolled his tongue back back in.

 

“” What is this?

 

Yuseong decided to check the item information.

 

<> Predator-Weapon Eater

 

– Nothing much is known about this weapon. No one knows who made it, where it was made, or why it was made. One known fact is that this weapon eats other weapons. The Holy Sword, the Magic Sword, even the Legendary Divine Soldier, it eats it all. The more weapons it consumes, the more powerful this weapon becomes. Weapon Eaters learn the ability and appearance of weapons they have eaten. The Weapon Eater can freely transform to the weapon it has consumed.

 

It felt like a jackpot. Yusung looked at Titania.

 

Titania smiled at Yusung with her thumb up.

 

It was going to be a big hit.

 

“” Yes!

 

Yusung raised his arms high and hoorah.

 

“” The Weapon Eater is the highest level of weapon. No, the concept of level might be meaningless. Weapon-eaters vary in strength depending on the weapon they consume on.

 

“” But you are sure that this is a jackpot, right?

 

“” Yes, I’m sure!

 

The response from the chat was also enthusiastic.

 

[] Goddess of mischief: Look! I told you the jackpot will come out.

 

‘’ that bastard

 

She was a mischievous goddess who deceived and tricked people

 

‘’ Jackpot has been hit, but I won’t forget what you did.

 

[] Fairy King: Congratulations

 

[] Black star: Is this for real?

 

[] 666: You made it.

 

[] Yongsalja: Wow, the Predator weapon comes out of the box. What a surprise.

 

[] Beautiful Blacksmith: Consuming weapon? I don’t think I like it.

 

Although the speed of chat updating was too fast to check all the chat, most of them watching Yuseong’s Hunter Channel responded as if they can’t believe it.

 

The Weapon Eater, which Yusung acquired in a random box, was one of the most difficult weapons to obtain among the highest-ranked items.

 

The Weapon Eater was not a weapon that could be purchased at the point shop. It was one of the items available only in random boxes.

 

Of course, the probability of obtaining it in a random box was almost impossible.

 

In the first place, the probability of getting the highest grade item even in the highest grade random box was only 5%. And even if you’re lucky and belong in 5%, it’s hard to get the item you want. There are hundreds and thousands of top-level items.

 

That’s why everyone watching Yusung’s Hunter Channel was shocked. Yusung acquired a formidable weapon called the Weapon Eater in a low class random box.

 

Not only did he break the 0.5 percent probability, but he once again broke through an extreme probability.

 

“” Titania, so have I become a huge company? (Meaning if he is a big deal now)

 

“” Not really?

 

“” I’m not?

 

He thought he could only walk on a comfy path now because he got a weapon that God and Spirits were astonished, but that wasn’t the case.

 

Yusung was greatly upset by Titania’s words.

 

“” Weapon eaters are predators. The more weapons it consumes, the stronger it becomes. But what if Weapon-Eater hasn’t consumed any weapons?

 

Weapon Eater is strong, if it consumes weapons, but without any consumption it was just a pitch-black ball with a tongue.

 

“”Weapon-Eaters differentiate on how the user uses them. If you give Weapon-Eater a powerful weapon like a holy sword or a magic sword, it will be a very powerful weapon, but if you feed him only ordinary weapons, even the Weapon-Eater will be just as good as a common iron sword.

 

“” I see…

 

The feeling Yusung felt floating in the sky calmed down again.

 

“” Don’t be too depressed. I will do my best to support you. Let’s feed the Weapon-Eater by working hard around the dungeon on Earth and accumulating points! You can do it!

 

Titania told Meteor, clasping her hands tightly.

 

Seeing Titania’s sparkling eyes and fluttering wings, Yusung burst into laughter.

 

“” Well, let’s feed this predator to the point where he can’t help but burst his stomach.

 

It was the moment when Titania and Yusung had a common interest.

 

“” Then let’s open the remaining boxes and go look around the shop.

 

“” Yes!

 

Yusung opened the remaining box without any worry in his mind. Perhaps because he used up all his luck with withdrawing Weapons-Eater, nothing good came out of the remaining boxes.

 

Most of the items were garbage and potion and the only item that was decent was a summon coupon.

 

“” It’s a random summon coupon! You can use that to summon a creature. It would have been better if it had been a fixed exchange ticket.

 

“” Random again. Why do the people who created the system like random so much? Are they like college students?

 

It wasn’t even a random drinking party game, but it everything was still random

 

“” If there is a coupon to exchange random creatures, there must be a coupon for trading random weapons and armor equipment….

 

Yusung felt respect for whoever created the random system.

 

That person created a system where the Gods would copy it. It was amazing.

 

“” Do I tear this?

 

Yusung ripped the coupon along perforations

 

Vong!

 

The space became distorted when he tore the exchange coupon.

 

“” I wonder what summon creature will come out!

 

[] I wonder what I can expect a summon creature to be like.

 

Titania looked forward to it with her eyes wide open, and Eve seemed to be looking forward to it as well. Of course, Yusung was looking forward to it.

 

Pak!

 

The warped space has returned to its original state.

 

“” What happened?

 

Yusung was flustered.

 

“” I thought the creature would be summoned? There’s nothing.

 

The space got a bit distorted for a moment and came back to the original state. No summon creature came out from the distorted space

 

“” Titania, what is this? Why did nothing come out?

 

“” The, the system says that it worked properly, but…

 

Titania was also flustered. Then, a message window flew to Yuseong with a donation.

 

[] Goddess of mischief donated 1,000 points

 

[] Goddess of Mischief: Most of it is a bug. Lol!

 

“” Bug?
